Pretty good interview we thought we’d pass along from this morning… of course, we’re sure you listened attentively to every second of the Dan Patrick Show, so you’ve heard Tom Thibodeau talking playoffs. Consider this a reminder (via CSN Chicago).

Thibodeau talks Heat and Bulls and the challenges LeBron and company present. He also talks everything from Hawks to Lakers.

And no, he doesn’t really know where his Coach of the Year trophy is right now. But whatever happened to it, it’s Joakim Noah‘s fault.

The stat to watch this series is Chicago’s points. Chicago is built around Rose’s offense and an excellent defense. Chicago’s defense (91.31 points a game) was second in the regular season only to Boston’s (91.13).

Here’s what the Heat scored against Boston in five games: 102, 99, 97, 98, 97.
